Extend the functionality of your network with this universal Wi-Fi bridge. The bridge enables a laptop or PC user without built-in wireless capability to connect to a wireless LAN. When paired with a low-cost 3Com OfficeConnect Dual Speed Hub, up to 16 network devices, PCs, printers, point-of-sale devices, and Internet appliances, can be connected to a wireless LAN. Eliminating the need for Wi-Fi PC cards and adapters for each device creates a mixed wired and wireless network at a much lower cost while maintaining flexibility as network needs change. The wireless LAN workgroup bridge supports all three IEEE 802.11 a, b, and g networking standards. This all-in-one support preserves existing equipment investments while supporting the latest higher-speed technologies. Mix and match radio bands to meet different coverage and bandwidth user needs within the same area. A one-time configuration at initial setup translates to a true plug-and-play experience. Once setup is complete, the bridge can be remotely managed using a standard Web browser or SNMP management tools. Auto network connect keeps wireless users connected to the network, even when roaming across IP subnets, with a choice of ad hoc or infrastructure connectivity mode.
